Look what trixieleitz made me! It's two of my interests, chocolate and languages, combined and I love it. The languages are almost all ones I've either learned or encountered in my travels, so I got them all right but one, though I had to google one of the others.

See if you can guess them, especially the last one! ;-)

Cool!

I'm not going to try to guess, though.

Well, I do know the first one;)

Of course you do! See if you can see the Welsh one; it's fairly obvious.

chocolat probably since it would be a borrowed word in Welsh and all we do is change the spelling a bit. And the rest of the altered spellings don't have the 'right' alterations.

Having looked it up myself I see I'm wrong, though I can barely see the correct one. there is a shadow over it.

It says 'siocled' and looked so Welsh I guessed it straight away.

[linda-joyce.livejournal.com]

yes as soon as I saw the word properly it was obvious as long as you have a rough idea of Welsh pronounciation shocklet if it was spelt as it sounds.

Ah, so Ds at the end of words are pronounced as Ts like in German.

In my part of Wales yes, but pronunciation changes from county to county as well as drastically from South to North.

I poked around online - that last one is brilliant!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

That's the one I had to google. Brilliant indeed.
